Huichol Yarn Art - 24" x 24" Nierika Tablet by Consuelo Cariillo

This Neikra is a ceremonial tablet by Consuelo Carrillo. It depicts the shamans receiving wisdom from the sacred peyote button. It contains many symbols familiar from Huichol artisans; prayer candles, drums, gourds, and the sacred peyote button in the center sprouting gift from the gods - corn.

Yarn paintings consist of commercial yarn pressed into boards coated with wax and resin and are derived from a ceremonial tablet called a neirika. What mostly links the yarn paintings made today is the continuance of the traditional patterns used for centuries to represent and communicate with the gods.

The Huichols are an indigenous people who mostly live in the mountainous areas of northern Jalisco and parts of Nayarit in north central Mexico with the towns of San Andrés, Santa Catarina and San Sebastián as major cultural centers. Their numbers are estimated at 50,000 and the name Huichol is derived from the word Wirriarika, which means soothsayer or medicine man. The religious faith of the Huichols is still based on a “trinity” of veneration of the deer, corn and peyote. The last is ritually gathered each year on a long pilgrimage to the desert area of San Luis Potosí, where the people are said to have originated and used by shamans.
